We all know that it is important to make a good first impression, especially in a job interview. Still, it is slightly disturbing to see scientific proof that (a) that impression is formed by the time we have spoken just seven words and (b) we are doomed unless those words come out in an accent like Jacob Rees-Mogg’s. Not that I imagine the arch-Brexiter has been to many job interviews (though who knows what December might hold).
我們都知道留下良好的第一印象很重要,尤其是在工作面試中。然而,看到有科學(xué)證據(jù)表明以下兩點(diǎn)的時(shí)候,我們還是略感不安:第一,這種印象在我們只說出7個(gè)詞時(shí)就確定了;第二,除非這些詞是以雅各布?里斯-莫格(Jacob Rees-Mogg)那樣的口音說出來,否則我們就死定了。倒不是說我想象中這位退歐派領(lǐng)袖參加過很多工作面試(不過誰(shuí)知道12月份會(huì)發(fā)生什么呢)。
